We often ask who's running the government with a White House led by doddering Joe Biden.
But with a new audit out, maybe the real question is what is the government.
According to the Washington Examiner:
The evacuation of federal headquarters during the COVID-19 crisis appears to have become permanent and costly with up to 90% of several agency headquarters empty, according to a federal audit.
At least 6 of 24 Washington area headquarters are 90% empty, including several that manage federal office space and employees such as the General Services Administration and the Office of Personnel Management.
The audit from the Government Accountability Office found that just six agencies were operating with half of their staff in the office during the first three months of 2023, the latest sign that efforts to get federal employees back into the office after the coronavirus crisis and after years of encouraging telework have failed.
The findings echo private sector reports. In Washington, private offices are less than 40% full.
Turns out the government buildings Joe Biden presides over in his expensive, bloated government are about as empty as the old dotard's head.
It's like we have a pretend president, presiding over a pretend government.
Practically every agency headquarters is something like 80% empty.
But the empty buildings still stand, as if to suggest that something had been there. Mainly, it's the illusion of power and importance.
Overall, Uncle Sam owns or leases 511 million square feet. That includes some 1,500 buildings and 7,685 leases. It costs $7 billion a year to maintain buildings and lease others, said GAO.

But many rejected that advice. “One official said their leadership is reluctant to share headquarters space with other agencies because it could lower their perceived standing as a cabinet-level agency,” said the audit report.
One thing the audit also notes is that these empty buildings waste a lot of electricity even with no one in them. So as Joe Biden tries to shove us into green vehicles and pay more at the pump to bankroll his energy transition, he's busy burning electricity ... on nothing.
Offices are empty. But the govt employees are still being paid. No surprise here. They are worthless and useless.
Government paychecks continued throughout the covid hysteria while the private sector was force to take an extended vacation on their own dime. Thus, government became stronger, and the private sector weaker as a result.
Biden is a vegetable. The whole world knows that.
That means his government is run by committee, special interest, and security-state bureaucrats.
Its fundamentally unstable and dangerous
As we reduce the size of the Federal bureaucracy some agencies not directly affected will be affected indirectly, like the GSA and the Office of Personnel Managment; with a shrunken federal bureacracy needing less of their services.
The government is likely trying to hide how many desks are empty due to retirements and resignations, and that these agencies can't hire sufficient talent.
Empty suit, empty suites, with empty skulls: Joe Biden’s government of empty buildings and craniums; Our ghost of a president is presiding over a ghost-town administration of empty skulls with zero evidence of 2 brain cells to rub together.

Meaningless without knowing how many are “working” from home.
Those buildings could make nice resorts hotels.
Biden is worthless and useless. I’ve been watching decades old comedy routines, by liberals, making fun of how incredibly stupid he is. Carson, Robin Williams..
Next, demolish the unconstitutional-use buildings. Demolishing the Deep State/Draining the Swamp.
Direct answer to prayer. Thank you Jesus.
The 7 Million Brandon Migrants can move in and live in those empty buildings.
And while government locked us down multinational corporations grew and small businesses were closed.
Had Monica Showalter been arrested yet?
Instead of Draining the Swamp, Biden has Evacuated the Swamp.
They are parasites eating us all alive.
“Nuke the entire site from orbit—it’s the only way to be sure”
You may be more right then you think it’s part of the long term plan.
Best case is 90% of the Federales get laid off.
Second best case is they just collect a paycheck and leave the rest of us alone. TBH, if that’s all it took to make them go away, I’d be happy to pay the Danegeld.
